I bought the 2016 RS a month ago. I've logged 47-50mpg on each tank. That includes some around town, twisties, and highways in various combinations.
My dealer/mechanic thought I'd get high 30's per gallon. I've quite a bit over that guess. I haven't taken the bike over 5Krpm's and usually shift at 38-4100 rpm's so I'm not one to be revving the motor much [ IOW, I don't horse the bike up through the gears ]. I carry 20#'s of kit total between panniers and another 7# in the soft top case.
What are others getting for mpg on their RS?
Just curious if it's the way I ride my motors or is this close to normal on these bikes
